And that was your light heart in your mouth right was 48 00:04:10,92 --> 00:04:16,70 company because we saw the of on curse thing and from where we were it looked 49 00:04:16,71 --> 00:04:21,14 incomplete everybody thought it was incomplete because it went off both hands and 50 00:04:21,38 --> 00:04:23,09 we didn't think there was any way and then all of 51 00:04:23,10 --> 00:04:29,22 a sudden we see them spot the ball there and we said not again. Because I know how 52 00:04:29,23 --> 00:04:32,72 many times can the same thing happen right right and then when he went back to 53 00:04:32,73 --> 00:04:38,13 throw you could see from where we were you saw the whole thing unfold he went back 54 00:04:38,35 --> 00:04:42,40 he threw it and then you see him catch it and there's obviously no one ounce or 55 00:04:42,41 --> 00:04:45,93 anything so you're just watching it home so you see him running the other way and 56 00:04:45,94 --> 00:04:51,30 it's like holy crap you intercepted it well and this was so I thought so was the 57 00:04:51,31 --> 00:04:53,72 crowd going like totally hushed and then all of 58 00:04:53,73 --> 00:04:58,91 a sudden oh yeah we were morons we're going berserk and we were all standing up and 59 00:04:59,34 --> 00:05:04,44 just like you say your heart's in your mouth because you figure we lost right 60 00:05:04,56 --> 00:05:08,63 because they had however many seconds left and Belichick wasn't calling 61 00:05:08,64 --> 00:05:13,54 a timeout and the time just ticking and ticking and ticking and you're saying why 62 00:05:13,55 --> 00:05:14,09 isn't he calling 63 00:05:14,10 --> 00:05:20,03 a timeout which he he knew.

So. You know what my concern is that he could panic 191 00:13:59,39 --> 00:14:02,42 and he could throw me I hope that they get off to 192 00:14:02,43 --> 00:14:06,92 a good start at least the first time they had the ball the first downs go get down 193 00:14:06,93 --> 00:14:11,91 there hopefully get some points out of it yeah but not throw an interception not 194 00:14:11,92 --> 00:14:18,13 panic. If he does have to hit the ball in the ball or throw it away that's my 195 00:14:18,14 --> 00:14:19,41 concern and I think I've heard from 196 00:14:19,42 --> 00:14:23,48 a lot of other people is that he makes the right decisions and under duress Yeah I 197 00:14:23,49 --> 00:14:28,92 think no matter what happens once he gets Arizona under his belt even if he loses 198 00:14:29,06 --> 00:14:35,13 Yeah he's now played in one of the most hostile environments so I use Me I think 199 00:14:35,14 --> 00:14:35,64 he's got 200 00:14:35,65 --> 00:14:42,53 a good core of skills so I'm really hoping for three and one or maybe two and 201 00:14:42,54 --> 00:14:47,34 two if it has to be do it do if you can just tread water and then hand the baton 202 00:14:47,35 --> 00:14:52,11 off to Brady at two into or three and one we're going to win the east yeah I would 203 00:14:52,12 --> 00:14:56,04 say so too I mean you have to have because if you look at it if you look at the 204 00:14:56,05 --> 00:15:02,77 schedule and I mean there are some tough games coming up I mean besides the you 205 00:15:02,78 --> 00:15:07,56 know if they got to play the Steelers at the at Pittsburgh now that could be 206 00:15:07,57 --> 00:15:08,92 a tough game I think that could be 207 00:15:08,93 --> 00:15:15,41 a tension loss right they've got two. So if they let's say me they lose two games 208 00:15:15,42 --> 00:15:19,00 that's three losses and before the break I don't necessarily see them losing 209 00:15:19,01 --> 00:15:24,64 anybody else here.

Should be illegal but how are they going to well that's 348 00:25:05,21 --> 00:25:08,80 another issue but test me for but if that's going to be the case and you would only 349 00:25:08,81 --> 00:25:12,89 go ahead which is good enough for. The Reds and the page you would almost want some 350 00:25:12,90 --> 00:25:17,02 of these football players especially your opposition to smoke marijuana yes but I 351 00:25:17,03 --> 00:25:17,20 have 352 00:25:17,21 --> 00:25:21,28 a negative effect on the sense of their hotel Exactly there are you know your husband 353 00:25:21,29 --> 00:25:21,43 is 354 00:25:21,44 --> 00:25:26,96 a delivery Peterson and and that you and those guys which Von Miller had some marijuana 355 00:25:26,97 --> 00:25:27,68 before the A.F.C. 356 00:25:27,69 --> 00:25:31,01 Championship game last year that would have helped ice and he was and he was into 357 00:25:31,02 --> 00:25:36,47 that supposedly wasn't he I thought he was banned for that or I don't know at all 358 00:25:36,48 --> 00:25:39,11 for that but I think I don't know I mean 359 00:25:39,12 --> 00:25:41,73 a lot of these guys do it because they after an N.F.L. 360 00:25:41,74 --> 00:25:46,47 Football game some of these guys they can't even walk that's true I guess it does 361 00:25:46,48 --> 00:25:52,21 help them. Go logically Yeah you know and just people with chronic pain and people 362 00:25:52,22 --> 00:25:57,68 who are on chemotherapy and almost anything it has good benefits as well I'm glad 363 00:25:57,69 --> 00:25:58,27 the N.F.L. 364 00:25:58,28 --> 00:26:03,97 Is at least looking into it I don't know how quick that's going to move but. I 365 00:26:03,98 --> 00:26:05,60 think they should maybe they should give Carson Palmer 366 00:26:05,61 --> 00:26:10,27 a blunt before the game. It was all about Carson Palmer and so we don't have much 367 00:26:10,28 --> 00:26:13,57 time that we're all talking about this but how do you think that the Patriots could 368 00:26:13,58 --> 00:26:18,79 influence their defense I mean our defense and she came up because that was one big 369 00:26:18,80 --> 00:26:23,23 key that Seattle did last year you know and then after the game yeah the thing 370 00:26:23,24 --> 00:26:30,08 about him he got rattled. And so if if they can have if they can put any kind of 371 00:26:30,09 --> 00:26:31,48 pressure on him knock him off 372 00:26:31,49 --> 00:26:37,91 a spot he ate Aaron Rodgers Yeah so I think that would help us too and that's one 373 00:26:37,92 --> 00:26:40,79 thing that I think we can do that I think I think these the for the group of guys 374 00:26:40,80 --> 00:26:45,04 that they have now they can do it and I was really excited about Terrence Knight 375 00:26:45,05 --> 00:26:48,59 And but I know they released him right now I don't know how much is left in the 376 00:26:48,60 --> 00:26:52,14 tank or if he didn't get along with the other guys or whatever but right I was 377 00:26:52,15 --> 00:26:53,77 really hoping that he'd be there because he was 378 00:26:53,78 --> 00:26:58,07 a good pass rusher I want them to but these guys that we have now they're well 379 00:26:58,08 --> 00:27:00,93 coached and they're experienced Ninkovich it hurts 380 00:27:00,94 --> 00:27:05,15 a little bit that he's not there but I think we can we can put pressure on him as 381 00:27:05,16 --> 00:27:05,85 specially if we get 382 00:27:05,86 --> 00:27:10,43 a lead you know he starts throwing Well that's it that's what we need to do because 383 00:27:10,44 --> 00:27:14,67 he panics it seems when he's behind and I'm not I think will keep the game close 384 00:27:15,23 --> 00:27:17,73 and that's the game that stands out to me you're playing 385 00:27:17,74 --> 00:27:22,100 a big opponent in week one away that's right but the defense will keep it close 386 00:27:23,18 --> 00:27:27,31 will be well coached and I think we'll be in it every addiction for score do it'll 387 00:27:27,32 --> 00:27:32,63 be like like twenty eight twenty four really like that where you think Frank I 388 00:27:32,64 --> 00:27:33,84 don't think that much I was going to ask 389 00:27:33,85 --> 00:27:36,43 a quick question but you kind of answered I was going to say what's going to win 390 00:27:36,44 --> 00:27:39,43 the game is the defense going to win the game and or that often is going to win 391 00:27:39,44 --> 00:27:45,04 this game you know it'll be it'll be like the old Baltimore Ravens used to be where 392 00:27:45,10 --> 00:27:49,45 you know the all the quarterback had to do was get out there not lose right I think 393 00:27:49,46 --> 00:27:52,77 it'll be like that as long as he doesn't try to do too much doesn't make any 394 00:27:52,78 --> 00:27:53,92 mistakes I don't think there's going to be 395 00:27:53,93 --> 00:28:00,93 a lot of points all go warm I'll go.
